RecycleMania answer from Jan. 23
The winner to last week's question is Brian Wright, PharmD candidate.

Question: How can you tell if the fluorescent bulb that is in your office is a reduced mercury bulb?
Answer: If it has a green band on one end, then it has less mercury and is easier to recycle. The electronic ballast makes it more energy efficient to turn the light off when you leave the room.
